Brighton vs. Leeds: Head-to-head record and past meetings

Brighton avoided losing three games in a row across all competitions after following up their defeats to Manchester United and Arsenal with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Leeds United on Saturday.

The Seagulls delivered a superb performance at the Amex Stadium which has moved them within two points of the top four. It also further improved their head-to-head record against the Whites.

Here, Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between the two sides.

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 52

Brighton & Hove Albion wins: 20

Draws: 14

Leeds United wins: 18

Brighton & Hove Albion and Leeds United have faced each other a total of 52 times across all competitions, with the Seagulls marginally leading the overall head-to-head record having posted 20 wins to the Whites' 18, while 14 draws have been played out between the two clubs.

September 1960 was the very first time that these two clubs butted heads in the old Division Two, with the Seagulls winning 2-1 on home soil. However, Leeds responded by putting together a six-match unbeaten run across Divisions One and Two.

Both Brighton and Leeds had their fair share of successes during their regular battles in Divisions One and Two over the years up until their first meeting as Championship clubs in 2004, when an own goal from Clarke Carlisle condemned the Whites to a narrow 1-0 loss away against the Seagulls.

Brighton boast an impressive overall record against Leeds in the Championship, as they have won 10 and drawn four of their 16 meetings with the Whites (L2). The Seagulls’ 4-0 home win in February 2016 represents the biggest victory for either side in this fixture.

Brighton and Leeds also faced each other six times in League One between 2007 and 2010, and it was the Whites who got the better of the Seagulls as they collected 14 points from a possible 18 available (W4 D2 L0).

In the Premier League era (since 1992-93), Brighton and Leeds have only come up again each other seven times, and the latter are still searching for their first win over the latter having drawn three and lost four against the Seagulls.
